TUBE TESTER

While cleaning up the "back-stage" of a HiFi-shop, I encounter several interesting
pieces, like a Trio WE-24 integrated 2 x 10W tube amplifier (1960) and....... this :

This is really something, probably some 50-60 years old. It is not mine (yet...), I would'nt know
how to use it anyway, but it is definately nice to look at and "dream away"   

Maybe some of you have some nostalgic thoughts with this..

All the best

Just let me say.... In Europe, this is a mighty fine "find"... I've got it for free.....

I am asking around if someone can tell me how to use it... if I do, I will comment on that..

Hi Marc ---

I did a google search on TV-7D/U and found some pdf's with instruction manuals for the TV-7 family of Testers.

Here are the Links!

Some of this info should get you started, look at the 2nd Link.

Hope this helps,

Hi Stew,

thanks for all these links, it seems I will have some reading to do !

But even if I cannot figure it out, it still remains a nice "conversation" piece.. :-))) lol

All the best

Hi Marc -- Take a look at the jvg link:

Some of these testers were made by Hickock and some by other companies.

There is also a lot of Hickock Documentation out there. The trick would be to fined the Tester Model that your TV7D/U is based on.

There is also an operation video for your D/U at:

and another for the A/U model:

Like I said, lots on info out on the WEB,
